* * Update: due to repeated blockages, I am forced to load the mere instrumental of my remix. I would have liked to share the full track (with vocals), but apparently on Soundcloud it is not possible. and I'm so sorry about that, considering the hours of work it took me to share it with you.
If you want, listen to it and try to imagine how the full track "should be". :( * *

Since “Always Be My Baby” (1995) and “Subtle Invitation” (2002) by Mariah Carey are both in the same key (E Major), I tried to make a remix/mash-up mainly based on the first song, with hints of the second. The mix contains also interpolations of “Without You” (1993) and “Dreamlover” (1993); and short vocal samples taken from “Sprung” (2005) and “Miss You” (2002). 
I tried to recreate a typical ‘Mariah Carey song’-type of atmosphere (a difficult task whatsoever!), and I wanted to put particular emphasis on the melodic aspect, which unexpectedly led, in some parts, to a solemn and almost sacred feeling.
Context/Mood: a melancholy dream, memories, sweetness, visions of spring… the dewy meadow, the sound of the brook, the scent of grove… past/future, Nature/technology. The celestial spheres kindly watch over the sleep of the just. Hopes and dreams for a new start.
